Te Awhitu landscape

Now this was taken a few years back - about 40 to be honest but I did like the subject. These are our two boys, aged about 12 and 8 and we had biked here with me and hubby brought the picnic. I'm putting old photos into my album.
Thankful for...today...
I don't have to speed read my library book - the libraries are closed and all 'due by date' is cancelled!

Wow that looks like Kohekohe Church Maggie.. Manukau Peninsula.. It has featured in my project several times ..

[Dianne]

@julzmaioro it does seem like Maggie has been in this area, exploring with her family many years ago. A great memory of your boys when they were young, Maggie.

[Wylie]

A real blast from the past. Great find.

[Maggiemae]

@julzmaioro I hoped you would be able to bring more light to this... my photo didn't have much information!

[Maggiemae]

@dide Yes, Diane - when we took so many bike rides to so many areas! No wonder they are still fit! Youngest is 50 this year!

[Diana]

What a great shot and colours, did you process this one too?

[Maggiemae]

Oh yes @ludwigsdiana Diana - the originals were not worth showing to anyone!

[Carolinesdreams]

That’s good about the library book! A cool picture. Good to put them in albums.

I have lots of images of this little church, it was renovated a few years back for wedding venue.

How fun to be revisiting old photos like this! I know it feels good to process them into a better state as well! This one is interesting with the boys and the church in the background

[Simply Amanda]

What a wonderful vintage photo!!

[Mags]

Great memories and a golden image!

[Bep]

What a lovely memory shot.

Great flashback! I bet it brought back a lot of wonderful memories.
Enjoy your leisurely read!

The Church is in a bit of a sad state at the moment as they hsve had to put supports up all round so not very photogenic.. I think it is on the market..
The corrs did a music video for ond of there songs here aswell so made it world famous..
You wouldn't want to have houng boys cycling on this road now..

Great memory photo

[sarah]

It has such a wonderful feel to it -what a nice memory too

[Maggiemae]

@samae In those days there was not much traffic on the road and it was safe to ride bicycles!

[Islandgirl]

So much fun looking at old photos, enjoy your leisurely read!

[Babs]

You are having fun with your old family photos. At least you have plenty to keep you occupied during lockdown.
I am sure the photos are bringing back lots of memories.

[Leslie]

it's so like looking back at old photos but then I end up getting nothings done beause it's hard to stop.

[bkb in the city]

Great memory

[tony gig]

A gorgeous setting with the church, fence & rolling hills in the background

Beautiful vintage capture.

Sounds like an adventure- and how nice the library is open-ended right now.
